Chapter 514: Technological Explosion, Weapons Explosion

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, the biochemical scientists also hurriedly spoke up: "Please rest assured, Imperial Grandson... we will certainly work hard to develop zombie weaponry!"

"We will strive to complete the zombie weapons as soon as possible!"

"Please grant us a little more time, Imperial Grandson!"

This group of biochemical scientists spoke to Zhu Ying with great sincerity.

Zhu Ying nodded to the crowd; clearly, he was quite satisfied with the attitude of these biochemical scientists.

In the following period of time, Zhu Ying shifted his focus back to modern weaponry.

"Queen White! Summon Dr. William!"

Zhu Ying issued a new command to Queen White. Although Dr. William's specialty was biochemical science, Zhu Ying had appointed him to manage all the scientists.

This naturally included several military weapons scientists.

Therefore, Zhu Ying needed to know the current stage of modern weapons development.

Not long after.

Dr. William came running toward Zhu Ying. It must be said that upon seeing Zhu Ying, Dr. William still maintained a very sincere demeanor.

"This lowly one pays respects to the Imperial Grandson. May Your Highness live for ten thousand years!"

After speaking.

Dr. William knelt directly before Zhu Ying.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Imperial Grandson!" By now, Dr. William had gained Zhu Ying's deep trust. Furthermore, Zhu Ying had bestowed upon him much wealth and honor, and even assigned specialized guards to protect him.

To Dr. William, his heart was naturally filled with absolute loyalty to Zhu Ying, without a shred of ulterior motive!

"I just inquired about the progress of the zombie weaponry. To be honest, I am not particularly satisfied with the current progress."

"As the manager of the scientific headquarters, you must ensure these biochemical scientists intensify their research. There must be no slackening whatsoever!"

As Zhu Ying finished speaking.

Dr. William hurriedly replied with utmost respect: "Please rest assured, Imperial Grandson. This lowly one will certainly focus on supervising them to expedite the research!"

Dr. William's voice was filled with a slight tremor, which was enough to show that he was still quite fearful of Zhu Ying.

Subsequently, Zhu Ying followed up with a cold tone toward Dr. William: "Additionally, modern weapons technology must also be a priority for development."

"Since developing zombie weaponry will take some time, we can prioritize the development of modern technological weapons! Especially the various weapons within this world!"

Zhu Ying's intention was actually quite simple.

Ultimately, he intended to use the resources from his [Biochemical World] to vigorously develop his military technology.

Upon hearing this, Dr. William did not hesitate for a moment and replied respectfully once more: "Reporting to the Imperial Grandson, please rest assured. Some of the technologies in this world have already been implemented within the Ming army."

"I have already informed Lord Zhu Bai of the Military Industry Workshop regarding the manufacturing principles of firearms. Currently, the Ming Empire's Military Industry Workshop possesses production lines for modern weapons!"

However.

When Zhu Ying heard Dr. William's report, the expression on his face remained grim.

Clearly, Zhu Ying was not particularly satisfied.

He continued, "It is still far from enough."

"Although the Military Industry Workshop can currently produce various submachine guns, machine guns, and so on, some higher-tier weapons cannot yet be mass-produced."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, a look of embarrassment appeared on Dr. William's face.

It seemed.

He did not know what "higher-tier weapons" Zhu Ying was referring to.

"Your Highness, the higher-tier weapons you speak of refer to...?"

Facing Dr. William's inquiry, Zhu Ying did not waste words and spoke directly: "Naturally, weapons such as helicopters, fighter jets, and tanks."

"And also missiles, and even nuclear bombs."

To be honest.

When Dr. William heard what Zhu Ying said, he was instantly startled. He never imagined that Zhu Ying would actually have them develop such weapons.

"Your Highness, based on my understanding of the Ming Empire, it seems the Ming Empire's military strength does not require such weapons."

"Furthermore, developing these weapons will consume a considerable amount of resources and time. Additionally, I fear we may not have enough manpower..."

Before Dr. William could finish, Zhu Ying emphasized: "Did I say you were to develop them yourselves?"

"Within this Resident Evil world, there will certainly be armories, and there will also be production lines for such weapons. What you need to do is find these production lines as quickly as possible. If they have been destroyed by zombies, then repair them!"

Zhu Ying continued: "In short, the Ming Empire must possess these high-tier modern military weapons!"

"I believe there must be production lines for such weapons in this biochemical world. Your task is to utilize these production lines for mass production and then transport them back to the Ming Empire."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Dr. William nodded repeatedly: "This lowly one understands. Please rest assured, Imperial Grandson. I will certainly dispatch people to find the weapon production lines and carry out mass production at the fastest possible speed!"

Zhu Ying added: "Additionally, I hope you can master nuclear bomb technology. Of course, there is no rush; research it slowly."

To Zhu Ying, he placed considerable importance on nuclear bombs.

After all.

Zhu Ying knew very well how terrifying the power of a nuclear bomb was. If the Ming Empire truly mastered nuclear technology, it would be a massive boost to the Ming Empire's military power!

However, when Dr. William heard this requirement from Zhu Ying, a look of tension appeared on his face.

As the top scientist of the current world, he naturally knew how troublesome the research and development of nuclear bombs was.

"Reporting to Your Highness... nuclear bombs are extremely complex. Given our current manpower, developing them will likely take a very long time... and the difficulty is immense."

Zhu Ying was not panicked at all; he responded with a calm face: "No rush, take your time. I believe you can do it."

"This lowly one... obeys your command."

Dr. William did not dare to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Once Zhu Ying had finished assigning this series of matters, he returned to the Ming Empire world. Meanwhile, the scientists in the [Resident Evil] world began to take action according to the series of requirements set by Zhu Ying.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Three years had passed.

On the day of the court assembly.

Inside the Fengtian Hall.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Empire arrived one after another.

High above.

Zhu Yuanzhang still sat upon the dragon throne in the center, with Zhu Biao and Zhu Ying flanking him on either side, along with Zhu Wenxi.

As the court etiquette concluded, the imperial assembly officially began.

As the Emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak to the officials: "Everyone, tell me, to what extent has our Ming's development progressed during this period?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the officials in the Fengtian Hall with an excited expression.

At this moment.

The first to speak was the Minister of Revenue, Yu Xin, who stepped forward from the crowd of officials.

It could be seen that Yu Xin's expression was full of excitement.

He immediately reported to Zhu Yuan璋: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this lowly official wishes to report to you regarding the matter of the Ming Network."

"Network?"

"What is a network?" To be honest, although Zhu Yuanzhang had come into contact with many modern things within the imperial palace, he was a man of the ancient era at his core, so he was clearly somewhat out of step with the times.

Furthermore.

The development of the Ming Empire during this period could be described as rapid and changing daily; new technologies and inventions arrived almost every few days, making it impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to absorb all the developments.

Although Zhu Ying had once informed Zhu Yuanzhang about the network, Zhu Yuanzhang had long since forgotten.

Seeing this, Yu Xin, as the Minister of Revenue, immediately explained to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Reporting to Your Majesty... this network is equivalent to an invisible rope. It cannot be seen or touched, yet it can connect people from all over the world together!"

"Through the network, real-time communication can be conducted, which is quite convenient."

Yu Xin was also afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not understand, so he used very simple language to describe it.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately remembered.

Thus.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said to Yu Xin: "I remember now, Xiong Ying once mentioned this matter to me."

"This network is a good thing! With this network, it will be much more convenient for the people of the entire world to communicate with each other in the future, and it can even strengthen management!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt quite pleased after hearing Yu Xin's report, and at the same time, he affirmed the political achievements obtained by the Ministry of Revenue.

At this time, Yu Xin proactively added: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in fact, besides the completion of the network deployment in the Ming Empire world, the network deployment has also been completed in the Wuhu World and the Later Ming World."

"However, currently, the people in the three worlds cannot communicate with each other, though the people within a single world can already communicate in real-time."

When Zhu Biao, sitting beside Zhu Yuanzhang, heard Yu Xin's report, a look of shock instantly appeared on his face.

"Yu Xin, do you mean to say that the supporting infrastructure in the Wuhu World and the Later Ming World has also been completed?"

Yu Xin immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that is exactly right. Both the Wuhu World and the Later Ming World have entered modern society!"

The other civil and military officials could not help but express their amazement.

"All three worlds have entered modern society. It must be said, this is a massive leap forward!"

"Indeed, it is hard to believe that in such a short time, even the Wuhu World and the Later Ming World have developed so rapidly!"

"If things continue like this, our Ming Empire's development will surely become more and more powerful!"

"That is natural. I heard that the [Biochemical World] is also nearing completion of its cleanup. In not long, the biochemical world will be completely under the control of our Great Ming!"

...

For a time, the civil and military officials discussed excitedly.

At this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again: "Since the Ming Empire world, the Later Ming World, and the Wuhu World are all covered by networks, is there a way to use their networks to connect these three worlds together?"

"To allow the people of these three worlds to converse in real-time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang inquired curiously of Yu Xin.

But, to be honest, regarding this question, Yu Xin did not know how to answer.

Yu Xin responded with an awkward expression: "Reporting to the Emperor, this lowly official believes the difficulty is too great and is basically impossible to achieve. After all, these three worlds belong to different points in space-time..."

Just then, Zhu Ying, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "It is not impossible."

"It is true that these three worlds are independent worlds and are not connected. The reason the Ming Empire can enter other worlds now is due to the existence of the [Spatial Gateways]."

"But that does not mean the people of these three worlds cannot be connected through a network."

"Xiong Ying, why don't you tell us, what kind of method should be used?" Zhu Biao asked Zhu Ying with curiosity, and Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the dragon throne, also said: "Yes, Xiong Ying, how can these three worlds be connected through a network?"

Zhu Ying explained to everyone very calmly: "Actually, it is not that difficult. We only need to install Red Queen servers in the Later Ming World and the Wuhu World respectively."

"Red Queen's servers? That's all it takes? It's that simple?" Zhu Biao still seemed unable to believe it.

Zhu Ying explained patiently: "Exactly. Currently, the Red Queen's main brain is located within the Ming Empire. As long as two servers are placed in the Later Ming World and the Wuhu World respectively, they can naturally be connected through the Red Queen's capabilities."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was also greatly shocked.

He could not help but remark: "I didn't expect this Red Queen to be so powerful. I truly did not think of it."

Zhu Ying explained calmly: "That is to be expected. The Red Queen is the most powerful technology. Currently, the reason the Ming Empire has developed so quickly, entering modern society in just a few short years, is that the Red Queen has made no small contribution."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to Zhu Ying, then said to Yu Xin: "Arrange it immediately according to what Xiong Ying said! Place the Red Queen's servers in the Later Ming World and the Wuhu World at once!"

"I want the people of these three worlds to be connected through the network!"

As the Minister of Revenue, Yu Xin immediately said: "This lowly official obeys!"

At this time.

Qin Da, the Minister of Works, also began to report on the development of the Ming military.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ming Empire has currently established weapon production lines. Additionally, there are also production lines for tanks, aircraft, and so on in the biochemical world."

"Basically, the Ming Empire has achieved firearm freedom. Furthermore, the tank corps and aircraft corps are also about to complete their formation!"

"Additionally, Ming soldiers have all been equipped with the latest bulletproof vests."

"It can be said that the military weaponry of the Ming has completed its revolution."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately praised: "Very good!"

"The reason the Ming Empire can be so powerful is that all of this is fundamentally supported by military strength. At any moment, the Ming military power must be vigorously developed."

"In the future, these tanks and aircraft must also be immediately equipped into the army!"

Qin Da hurriedly responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Currently, the Ming Empire already possesses about one hundred tanks, as well as over one hundred aircraft. Now that the production lines are perfected, tanks and aircraft are being actively produced."
